How Many Sessions Will I Need to Attend?

The number of sessions required depends on the nature of the issue you bring to therapy as well as on the individual. Some people need to attend just a few sessions, while others need longer term therapy.

The frequency of therapy sessions is also dependant on the individual. In some cases weekly sessions may be most effective, particularly in the early stages, while others may need to see their therapist less often.

People with a referral from a medical practitioner may be able to access bulk-billing or Medicare rebates for up to 10 sessions per calendar year (Jan to Dec).

Private patients are not limited in the number of sessions they can attend, and Medicare patients can continue to attend as private patients at the end of their 10 rebated or bulk-billed sessions.
